Classically Educated March 27, 2008
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , trackbackHere at the School for Bananalets we basically follow a classical Christian model. Think Veritas Press and you’ve got our number, pre-tweaking for individual Bananas.
However, every now and then, we realize that the texts on Classical Schooling really do not go far enough.
Case in point: our washing machine died in the throes of post-vacation laundry. Devastatingly Handsome, a wonderful provider, and a guy who likes clean laundry, went right out and did some investigating of new models once we decided it probably was not a good idea to attempt a repair on the 27 year old model which has served us faithfully through many a load of diapers. And today he fetched home a new beauty and has been working on installing it.
He is man enough to do it himself, with a little muscle help from the Bananas. Which of course, sets me to singing, “We gotta install microwave ovens/ Custom kitchen deliveries/ We gotta move these refrigerators/ We gotta move these colour TV’s”
Which would be fine. Except that then I hear myself saying to the kids, “It’s a CLASSIC! You are CLASSICALLY EDUCATED! You should love it!”
Ack. Too bad that is the sort of thing that are my classics.

Aha. See? Classics. I rest my case, my passion for Dire Straits notwithstanding. LOL.
